Organisational overview
OPG is an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and was set up in 2007 following the introduction of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. We are a friendly and inclusive organisation that delivers vital public services with real impacts on the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in society. We work closely with the Court of Protection, the legal profession, social services, and charities. Our staff are mostly based in Birmingham and Nottingham.
The Public Guardian, supported by OPG, discharges a range of statutory functions under the Mental Capacity Act – principally maintaining registers of Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA), Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA) and of orders appointing deputies and guardians; supervising deputies, and dealing with representations about the way in which attorneys and deputies are exercising their powers. The OPG registers approximately 900,000 LPAs and EPAs and supervises around 60,000 deputies per year.
Following a consultation in 2021 by the Ministry of Justice, ministers have now set out plans to transform the LPA system – making it quicker to use, easier to access and even more secure from fraud. Under the proposals, people will be able to make an LPA completely online for the first time – bringing it in line with other government services such as applying for a divorce. The current paper-based system will continue to operate meaning people can choose an accessible process that’s best for their specific needs.
Through this and other reforms, the way OPG provides services will change to help us meet the growing needs of our users, partners, and our stakeholders. It will make sure our users experience a better level of support and it will help us to respond to the changing needs of society. These reforms will enable us to create high-quality services that are accessible and affordable for all.
